    This film is very realistic but there is a one critical mistake in it. There is no way anyone would make a check of electrical detonator while having squad still planting charges.

    Did a skiing course in GermanAlps and shared the accommodation with a bunch of posties RE most of which were “female”. My God but they were rough, drunk like navvies and fought like tigers, great times.

      4:58 No, Browning .30". This was a period of flux for British AFV mgs. The Centurion, Saracen, Saladin, Ferret etc were all from the Browning era. The Centurion was L7 7.62mm GPMG era but early versions also had a Browning .50" ranging mg as well as coaxial and cupola GPMGs. Meanwile the cupola weapon for FV 433 Abbott was still the L4 LMG (the Bren re-chambered for 7.62mm). Supply chain nightmare I would imagine!

    At 2m03sec: The Soldier the top of the bank, talking to his Oppo with the cables. It sounds like he say “What’s the score with this C**t?”, which WOULD be very apt for Real Life Soldiers but not so good on an SSVC type Training Video! Still made me chuckle 😂🤣 (By the way, I do know, I was one!)

    Today NATO is a farce. The European Leaders of today who were elected by Europeans who had grown up with Socialist doctrines in their education system have invited immigrants from the Middle East to destroy their very European societies. The Russians and Eastern Europeans knew this. Western Liberal Europeans and American Communist Democrats let this happen to keep themselves in power. To career politicians on both sides of the Atlantic or Pacific. All lives are expendable either which sides you support. The Globalist side never cared because they want power in major of minor. People will never wake up and never care until it hits them. Until then. It was up to you. Your excuses will never be excusable.

    God I haven`t seen this film in 30 years,I was in BAOR in 29 fd sqn, 35 Engr Regt from `85 to `88 and I remember spending countless hours on top of bowstring bridges prepping them for demolition, hard fucking work and I was always terrified I`d fall off, I wasn't worried about falling into the water but some of the bridges we trained on were bloody enormous and if you fell onto the road from the top that was you dead or seriously injured.
